Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

It's not my computer,or the install process.Mr.,as you can see.CTDs are there.....period.
And please do not misunderstand my words,I did not say it's " a loser" in regard to the quality of the Mod,since I already stated that I "liked it a lot", but about the problems ( the same that are having many other players),it's unstable that's it....
I have up and running, EB,RS II and RTR VII,smooth and faultless....also installed a couple of others .just to have a try,and the only one having trouble, is this one.
Now I don't wanna put it down ,but you cannot pretend it's not an issue
best regards

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

Hello
I really enjoy playing your mod, and I want to really thank you very much for your efforts.

I have experienced an annoying bug. The "pezheteroi" unit under Seleucids , whenever trying to take part in a battle the game CTD. It happens also in custom battles and in campaigns battles.
My macedonian campaign is at 252BC and I desperately need not to autoresolve every battle against Seleucids .
This problem also,does not allow me to start any new campaign with several faction around Seleucids.

Is there any tip to help me fix this?

(I use 1.1.2, Win7 32bit and RTW gold)

Sounds like there are some missing entries in the DMB...
Evreything checks out in the DMB though...the texture,sprites, everything that the unit needs to work is there but then and again the DMB isn't exactly my forte
I could ask my cousin who is a reasonably good skinner??

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

It seems that indeed there is a problem with the seleucid pezhetairoi texture.
I played with it and i get a CTD. First check your folder models_unit, it must be there. If it's there, it's obviously an encoding problem with the DDS.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

For the moment my DDS converter does'nt match my graphical card settings. I just have to find another machine to check this.
Just avoid to play this unit for the moment. I guess the CTD encountered during the seleucid campaign are related to this too.

I think this might work, you could substitute (until the problem is solved) the 'seleucid' tga with another tga e.g.
texture seleucid, catw/data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_successor_phalanx_epirus.tga

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

Open up descr_model_battle.txt and press control f then type in 'roman_late_praetorian_cavalry' (without the apostrophes) it should take you to the soldier model it supposedly can't find if it doesn't it means either your installation is corrupt or you didn't apply the patches correctly.

If it's not there I recommend a re-installation of the mod and patches. Good luck.

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

I know somebody above mentioned this but I want to confirm it. I got it up and running on BI but it would constantly crash when I tried custom battles. I reconfigured it for RTW and tonight it worked fine. So there is a problem with BI for some people. Looks like a great mod but I wanted to point that BI problem out so you guys can look into that issue. But as long as I can run it on RTW then it's not a big deal for me.

@cocobongoclub-DJ, Resef, Nelduin
Thank you very much for your answers, and for the time you spend for my problem with Seleucid Pezhetairoi.
So it seems that I will try to avoid any contact with these big seleucid guys, for now

By the way I tried the workaround Resef suggest but it doesnt works for me.

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

The campaign battles don't work.
When i assault a city and play the battle by my self, not auto resolve, the loading screen appears.
After a few seconds loading the game crashes and i got a error.

Ive got RTW Gold and windows 7

please help
(sorry for my bad english)

Open up the export_descr_buildings.txt and press the control key and than 'g' than type in 334, once it goes down look for the line that should say 'city_barracks requires factions { spain, romans_brutii, romans_senate, dacia, gauls, numidian, germans, carthaginian, armenia, pontus, egyptian, greek, romans_julii,'

& than add a } at the end of the line which you can create by pressing the shift key while pressing this--> ]
so it should now look like
city_barracks requires factions { spain, romans_brutii, romans_senate, dacia, gauls, numidian, germans, carthaginian, armenia, pontus, egyptian, greek, romans_julii, }

(I also had this error (awhile ago) after I adjusted something inside of export_buildings.txt ...it seems like your rtw is a bit more cranky than mine)

hmm, I guess you'll have to wait until coco can have a look at the file than

Maybe you didn't add in the texture correctly...? Try mine if you don't think you did it right. (just paste it inside catw/data)

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

The way the slave pezheteroi texture doesn't work either. I substituted that texture to in this DMB file. I'm using the Macedon texture for each substitution simply because it does make some sense historically. Macedonian pezheteroi have been around!

Re: CATW - Bugs ans Issues

Why did you post this in the bug forum if you didn't even give us anything to work with..."crashing on different occasions".

The rorarii? They were armed in a way which superficially resembled the triarii, as there is at least one Livian example where they are used to substitute for the triarii and confuse the enemy as to triarii's real location.
